Product description
Glenfarclas The Family Casks collection was launched in 2007 and featured whiskies from the finest casks the distillery had in stock, bottled in its natural state.
It consisted of 43 bottles, each containing a different vintage of whisky, distilled between 1952 and 1994. The Family Casks was a unique edition, without parallel, offering a cross-section of the distillery’s 43-year history. The whisky presented here is a continuation of that ambitious project, part of a new phase of The Family Casks collection – distilled in 1984, it spent around 27 years in a multi-fill hogshead cask (no. 6030), and was bottled at cask strength (51% abv) on 26th May 2011 in an edition of 264 bottles.
Nose: fruity-sweet, honey, milkshakes, oranges, bananas, papaya, cantaloupe, wildflower bouquet, green tea, lemon pepper and a hint of wax.
Taste: fruity, oranges, melons, cherries, apricots, honey-roasted almonds, toffee, milk chocolate, banana cake, cinnamon, a hint of lemongrass and oak.
Finish: quite long, with notes of tropical fruits, honey, cinnamon, cloves, white pepper and oak.
